This shows the life of the cathedral, from its destruction to its rebuilding and consecration. Many thanks to Leetle Masha for pointing me in its direction.There is a link on the homepage, entitled 'English version', but unfortunately, the link appears to be broken.

Sorry 'bout the "English" link.... but if you have RealPlayer (free download), you can view the videoarchive--the photos speak for themselves.

I hope that everyone finds the "videoarchive" and also the "audioarchiv" which features the original choir of the cathedral, before the original church was blown up by the Bolsheviks. That choir, I guess, now sleeps beneath the snows of Siberia.

You're welcome! I don't think the English version has as much material as the Russian version, but it does have the audio and video archives and some good written material on the history of the Cathedral and several features of the Cathedral as well, such as the Church of the Transfiguration, a "Lower Church" underneath the main church, where there are daily services and other activities.

About Me

I am an Orthodox Christian and a Reader in the Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland, serving with the blessing of His Grace Archbishop Mark. I struggle along, much like most people, but I do what I can, by God's grace.
I have a love for the worship of the Orthodox Church - both eastern and western - and long for the day when we have a local Orthodox Church in Britain, giving a single voice and witness of the ancient Faith of these isles to the people of these isles, with their various backgrounds and walks of life.
